How do you say "Merry Christmas" in Spanish? The McHenry Public library has the answers to these and dozens of other puzzling questions and problems that come up as people start thinking of Christmas, ac­ cording to Librarian Mrs. Stuart. "Books help in many ways in pre-planning for Christmas," the librarian said. The library has recipes for Christmas cakes and cookies, suggestions for holiday decorations, plays for church or school, and the words and music for favorite Christmas carols. In addition, helpful material is available on Christmas customs, holiday parties, Christmas poetry, gifts to make, and many, many more. The library has set up a special Christmas Planning Shelf as a convenience to the community. Books and magazine and pamphlet material on display can be signed out for circulation. Would vou like to make your own Christmas gifts this year? The McHenry Public library has many practical books and magazines which offer helpful suggestions for making hun­ dreds of attractive and useful gifts, according to Mrs. Stuart. One excellent source of gift making ideas is the Practical Encyclopedia of Crafts, which gives easy to follow directions for making a great variety of simple, economical gifts. Other suggestions are found in such books as Candle-making by Susanne Stross, Bead and Pearl Jewelry and Creating in Felt. A number of books on toy making will be a help to young fathers who can use a hammer and saw to good advantage. One title is Dolls, New and Old, which gives instructions for making dolls and toys for children of all ages. Other titles are How to Tie-Dye, Decorating Ideas, Shell Craft, Papier- Mache and Magic with Tin Cans. Included in this Crhistmas planning collection is a wide range of books on many phases of Christmas. The story of the celebration of Christmas is covered in such books as Celebrating Christmas Around the World, The First Christmas and Holiday Programs for Boys and Girls. The library has six Annual Christmas Literature and Art Books, and a copy of Christmas Customs Around the World. Homemakers who want ideas for decorations, gift making and other Crhistmas activities can find helpful suggestions in Christmas All Through the House and dozens of Christmas issue magazines. For holiday menu ideas, the library has Holiday Cook Books and cook books from all over the world. Further information about this special Christmas Plan­ ning Collection can be obtained by calling the McHenry Public library. Fires!

The recent party and dance at the Spring Grove elementary school took off with goblins, ghosts and crocodiles being welcomed by Supt. Frank Tavano. Many teens from the com­ munity came to hear the music and dance to the debut per­ formance of a young band. » ' The younger children at the party enjoyed cartoons and Laurel & Hardy films, shown by the school librarian, Mrs. Shirley Roseman, in the learning center. There were also treats with no tricks. The costume judging for the younger crowd was a difficult job because each child was special. There were ten costumes awarded $1 each, as follows: Pre-school through kindergarten, Linda Brady as an old fashion girl and Mark Whitney as Charlie Brown; first grade, Renee Busch as a clown and Sandy Schmidt as an angel ; second and third grades, Mike Eckman as a pirate and Heather Nillis as a lady bug; fourth grade and up, Peggy Rinda as a midget, Dianne Kitterman as a moon lady, Debbie Kitterman as a mustard jar and Albert Schmidt as a crocodile. The costumes were all good and the faces of each child glowed with excitement.
